A Dominican Immigrant’s Video Just Disrupted the National Conversation About Race and Police Brutality

The sentence in the opening graf from NBC News last night said it all: “Feidin Santana, a barber who immigrated to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic, is at the center of a story that has transfixed the nation.” This extended interview from MSNBC with Santana reveals a lot about why he felt is was extremely important to make the Walter Scott video public: “I knew the cop didn’t to the right thing.”

“I felt like I did the right thing for the family. I believe that this can help other people to not do this kind of stuff. Nobody has the right to take away the life away from nobody for no reason.”
